The Soul Brand

After the realization of the damage caused by the attack, she became certain that this was how it will end and she will die even before avenging her children but she was also somewhat happy as In her dying moments she could witness a technique of this calibre.

She always despised humans as they were cunning and will only think about their profits and are cowards this was also the reason why very few humans met her as she always stayed away from them but although Li Tian was an enemy she had a bit of respect for him as she concluded that this human was different from others. He didn't use any underhanded tricks or try to pull any moves as he simply fought against her with his own strength, so she was not unhappy about this defeat.

Then she saw Li Tian walking towards her while the sword in his hand started releasing a murderous aura as if it wanted to take the blood of the beast. She closed her eyes as she knew what was about to unfold and now, she can't even move as the injury has damaged her insides and she can't move.

"Well, I know you can understand me Fox so how about we chat a little before you die" said Li Tian while putting his sword back into the space ring from where it came from. The Ice fox nodded as she knew that due to her loss, she at least should accept this and not to mention she also wanted to ask some questions to him.

"It seems you agree well I understand you also have some questions regarding me I know what you want so I will tell you My name is Li Tian and am 19 Years old and not some old monster" said Li Tian he told this because he knew the fox wanted to at least know the name of the first human who gained her respect and also defeated her but after hearing the latter she was surprised after finding that he was only 19 years old and not some old monster who has preserved his face by use of some pills.

The heavens have blessed a genius in human continent then, only 19 Years old but has already reached nascent soul realm thought the Ice Fox.

"It looks like you are not strong enough to form a human body but maybe you will be able to do so in later stages" said Li Tian a bit disappointed as he thought that maybe she will be able to take on a human form because he really wanted to see that as Beasts who can take on a human form are rare and they all are very strong as they have developed intelligence as the same level as humans thus they are rare to come by.

"Now I will give you a chance either become my beast where I will implant a soul brand on you or die right now" said Li Tian after he said this, he saw the face of fox twitch and without even seeing he knew what the answer would be.

These foxes were quite proud beasts even in the face of death they won't hide so he knew this task would be a little difficult as taming this beast may or may not take a long period of time and if all that she still resisted this offer, then he would just kill her as he can have many beasts who would follow him if he wanted.

"Don't make that expression fox naturally this soul brand is only for assuring your loyalty towards me but to compensate I can give you the best treatment and can help you advance your cultivation, and I will provide you with sufficient treasures and pills," said Li Tian

"My family is quite influential so you don't need to worry about being provided with low grade materials I can assure you of that I will even assist you in helping you form a human form" said Li Tian well technically these benefits were the best for a beast as forming a human form required a lot of treasures and pills normally it is difficult for them to achieve all this thus very few can form a human form.

A few moments had passed, and the beast was thinking about the offer as this was a once in a lifetime opportunity and she didn't find any abnormality in his words as someone who reached nascent soul realm at such a young age would undoubtedly be a genius and there must be behemoth supporting him, so she didn't find any lie with this.

Surprisingly the beast nodded and chose to accept his offer as she guessed that this was a genius who comes once in a million years and he was destined to greatness so no problem in following him and he also promised to help in forming of her human form she knew the human genius were quite proud and always kept their words so she judged that he will help her later.

"Good first take these pills this will help you in recovering and healing these injuries" said Li Tian while giving three pills to the fox these 3 pills were Healing Pill, Purification Pills and Spiritual Pills all of these were of medium grade and could be said to cost a lot.

After receiving these she knew that these were a little different as they excluded a much more profound smell from the ones she had seen before. Once she killed a group of cultivators and took their rings with her where she found some healing pills and spiritual pills, but they were of the lowest quality thus when she consumed them the effects weren't much. But this time was different the moment she took the pills her internal injuries stopped and started to recover a bit by bit. She even realised her soul power was becoming stronger with each passing moment.

Soon almost all her injuries from her battle with Li Tian was healed and now she could walk again but still he didn't gain the same amount of power which she had back then even she knew that these pills although heavenly but there must be upper limit to what they could do so she knew rest of her strength she needed to form again by cultivating.

"Good now that you are healed let me imprint my soul mark on you" said Li Tian while keeping a finger on the forehead of the fox and pouring his divine sense into it.

In just a moment the process was completed, and the soul mark was placed in the sea of consciousness of the fox, and she knew now she was just like a pet of her master Li Tian. But she didn't regret her choice on the contrary she was now even more proud of having such a master as while marking the soul she peeked a little into the memories of Li Tian and found the position of her master in the human world and got to know a little about the master's family.

Well naturally all these things were what Li Tian wanted her to see otherwise she couldn't have normally peeked into his memories. This time deliberately Li Tian left a little gap in his memory so that she could peek a little but only allowed the showcase of some basic information and no secrets were exposed during this exchange.
